Well guys, here is what i finally got. I went to the Soundsaround sale and they had no Denons that interested me (although they had the 2807 for $1000CAD which is killer).

I ended up buying the RX-V659 for $500CAD. Last time i checked the street prices in Calgary were around $650, so $150 bucks off on a sale was awsome for me. Also got the 5 year extended warranty for $60.
